Red Light Management founder Coran Capshaw will be honoroed by the T.J. Martell Foundation, the music industry foundation that provides funds for cancer research, at its 51st annual New York Honors Gala on September 15 at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York City.
The foundation’s board of trustees will present Capshaw — pictured above with longtime management clients Dave Matthews (left) and Phish’s Trey Anastasio (right) — with its Lifetime Music Industry Award. Since the 1980s, Capshaw has built Red Light into one of the world’s largest independent artist management companies, where he personally manages Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Chris Stapleton and the Strokes, among others, and his team oversees the careers of dozens more acts. Beyond management, Capshaw has helped build music festivals and venues across the country, along with a strong commitment to philanthropy.
The evening’s red carpet will be sponsored by Live Nation, and the program will include special performances and celebrity presenters to be announced in the weeks ahead.
“We are deeply honored to recognize our esteemed music industry colleague Coran Capshaw with this year’s Lifetime Music Industry Award, a tribute to decades of remarkable dedication and philanthropic leadership,” said Republic’s Steve Gawley, chairman of the T.J. Martell Foundation’s board of trustees. “Coran’s enduring commitment to philanthropy, as well as his ability to rally artists in support of meaningful causes, has made a profound impact on our community. We are proud to shine a spotlight on Coran’s exceptional leadership and lasting contributions to the causes that matter most.”
